Flash Gordon Rising

Verse 1

Yale polo boy with a collar white and bold

Dale beside him in the wild blue falling

Meteor tearing through the frightened sky

Zarkov screams the end of days is calling

One last ride inside his rattling tin

Three of us against the howling spin

Pre-Chorus

Earth is dying underneath our feet

But the stars are where we're going now to meet

CHORUS

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never let me go

Zarkov built her out of sparks and grit

Now we're crashing where the sky won't quit

Oh Mongo Mongo

Verse 2

I met the devils wearing crowns of steel

Ming the Merciless with hands of iron

Aura's eyes were burning hot for me

While Barin fought to free his tangled union

Vultan screamed his hawkmen from the heights

Thun's lion roar came rolling through the nights

Pre-Chorus

Forest sky and beast and feathered wing

Every one of them was waiting for a king

CHORUS

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never let me go

Zarkov shouting we can save this earth yet

Break the tyrant throne and take our sunset

Oh Mongo Mongo

BRIDGE

Sword fights glittering under Ming's red sun

Aura scheming in a gown of stolen gold

Dale caught between my hand and the dagger's gleam

I traded polo sticks for a rebel dream

Oh Mongo keeps on turning

Earth is still in danger still

But a boy from Yale learned how to bend a tyrant's will

FINAL CHORUS

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never let me go

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun on high

On this world beneath the burning sky

We are one we are one

Oh Mongo Mongo

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo
